Auntie Charo's Soapbox

KUAM reported tonight that public law 28-45 just ain't gonna be met....the law being that requires fourteen specific rules making sure that your Juan and Shenawa won't be getting their version of Govdumb's adequate education....hell, we can't even give them a probable education, let alone 'adequate'.

KUAM reports that there isn't enough time or resources to bring this law into reality....gads, how much time did GPSS need? The air-heads knew October was going to come after September...they knew they didn't have the money...so, one would think they'd make this known to the clowns in Julale to do something about it before the smart parents start litigations.

But hey, a suit's a suit(as in litigation)....Anybody can sue Govdumb...they'll just not pay it.......ask various govdumb agencies(DPW is one that comes to mind) how much they haven't paid because their agency was sued. This government doesn't know a thing about rules or deadlines....just look at the front page of the PDN.....it's been almost a year before Southern High School's air conditioning has been properly repaired.

KUAM's reporter quotes a GPSS official who says, "My honest opinion, there's no GPSS school that will be ready for Monday's deadline. That's my honest opinion, said Upi Elementary School PTO president Tino Conceicao. Plain and simple, he says, he and Guam Public School Officials agree that the deadline to meet the 14 points of the Every Child Deserves An Adequate Public Education Act will not be met on time. Spokesperson Gerry Cruz says the passage of the law and the realization that now parents and the community will be able to take GPSS to court as a push to remedy problems has the potential to cost the School System and the Government of Guam a lot of money.

In the meantime, Cruz is hoping mediation will buy GPSS more time. "We don't feel that we can hit that target and address every point on that law so what we're trying to do is work with the legislature to see if we can secure other funding that can try to mitigate some of the situations in the school," he said."

So....GPSS central found the 'resources' to spruce up their offices and I'll bet my last dollar that those offices are air conditioned to the hilt!

It's safe to say that our children will be educated to be smart enough to flip burgers or mow lawns...their parents might sue GPSS for non-compliance of the law but not a damn thing will happen. Our schools know how to be sub-standard and no number of suits filed will change that....law or no law, they'll always be at the bottom when it comes to a priority. Heck, it's only our children that will suffer because they'll graduate from school still being a dummy...and in a way, that's a good thing....they'll not be traumatized when the news hits them in their adult years that this present government has borrowed more than they can pay back and will have to pay even more for utility fees!
Aren't we just a bunch of dumb coconuts?
Do me a favor, the next time a candidate running for an elected position and talks about what he's going to do for 'our precious children', walk away and don't vote for him...because he's just lying to get your vote....and the next time there's an election....remember the dummies in the 29th Legislature...they surely aren't doing a darn thing to make it better for your public schools.....don't vote for any of them either!!!
